Have only brought a little as my hubby threatened to leave me here if I brought too much lol.. We wont tell him about the bag under the bed in the caravan will we, HAHA HEHE (maniacal evil laughter)..

Here is a picture of the El Toro Motel where we have a very lovely room with showers, ensuite, television, kitchen and a queen bed. Can you see our van parked outside the room!!

Debbie is a fantastic seamstress, so she showed me how to cover books with material.

Here are my attempts.. As yet to be embellished.. Not only did I love making them but it uses up bits of scraps that Debbie had - thank you Debbie..

These are plain notebooks that I intend to write "things" in on the road.. (you notice I say intend lol).

One will be a recipe book as Debbie is showing me how to make very interesting different curry paste's. Did I mention she is a great cook as well!! So much talent sigh!!! lol.

The book with the cover (Happy is the House), was a brilliant find at the op shop for one whole dollar.. I cut the gorgeous cover off the book and sewed it on the front of the material using a blanket stich and created a false cover for the book with heavy cardstock..

This book has wonderful poems and quotes for friends and around the home..

My five books, love the materials I used..

I ask you to not look too close because there is tons of mistakes lol..

Oh by the way I picked up all the ribbon for $1.00 at spotlight (bargain)..

I just could not help myself, so my hubby said, not even one week in to the trip and I have started crafting already, HeHe.

Hi! I'm Donna!

I am a wife, mother, grandmother and a great-grandmother. I have many passions in my life and I think life is far too short to set your focus on just one thing. There are so many things I have yet to see or accomplish that it will take the rest of my life to even partially finish. But I am ok with that because it means I will always be sharing with you, all the excitement and wonders of my new adventures with you! In a nutshell, I love creating and think the world is a wonderful canvas. You can read more about me here and be sure to follow me on social media!
